Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

by Christopher Durang

directed by Terry Collins

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike earned unanimous acclaim in its 2013 Broadway debut; the Tony Award for Best Play, the Outer Circle Critics Award for Best Play, the Drama League Award for Best Production of a Play, the Drama Desk Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Production and the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play. Critics called it “a comic tour de force” (Village Voice), “the funniest play in town” (Bloomberg News), an “utterly refreshing…sweet, witty play with a huge pop culture appetite” (Associated Press) and “terrifically kooky” (Entertainment Weekly). 

And next Friday it opens in Woy Woy.

It’s present day in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Sonia is angry with her older brother Vanya. She always prepares his coffee for him, but today he got it himself. It becomes clear very soon that this is a typical squabble between siblings, who are both unmarried, in their 50s, and are still living together in the house where they grew up.

While Vanya and Sonia are chatting, their housekeeper, Cassandra, walks in and makes one of her predictions—a regular occurrence that Vanya and Sonia are accustomed to. This time she predicts they will lose the house, which causes Sonia to suddenly remember that their somewhat famous sister Masha (who actually owns the house) is coming to visit.

Masha, who is also in her 50s, bursts in and says how happy she is to see her siblings and the house. On her heels is her “beloved,” 29-year-old Spike.

Welcome to the insane world of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike!

Christopher Durang is known for his outrageous comedies that, underneath the absurdity, have profound searches for optimism and connection with others. The story told by the endearingly eccentric characters in this play show us why Durang is a member of the American Theater Hall of Fame..
